v4 Chapter 1597： He had no choice!

Returning to the dressing room with a zero to two trail, Barcelona felt very depressed up and down.

The locker room was lifeless, and obviously Barcelona players couldn't adapt to this bad scene.

Especially at Camp Nou!

Not only that, many players have a bad imagination in their hearts, that is, Barcelona has been in the Champions League for many consecutive seasons and has been reversed by opponents. Fans ridiculously call it "European sauce".

This continuous reversal by opponents for many consecutive seasons is undoubtedly quite a blow to the team's confidence, especially at a critical moment.

There is no doubt that Barcelona is at a critical moment.

As an opponent, Valverde really did not expect that Yang Yang's training of Ajax, preparations before the game, platoon formation, and even the on-site command during the game were so good, which made him a little caught off guard.

As if tonight, Yang Yang replaced Jovic, but he did not put himself at the forefront. This is a very clever tactic. It can be seen how good Yang Yang's tactical literacy is.

It can be said that Yang Yang's running coverage in the first half, especially in the 30-meter area of ​​Barcelona, ​​the oppression of the back line and Busquets completely paralyzed Busquets, which directly led to the appearance of the entire Barcelona midfield organization. Huge problem.

In order to cope with the high pressure of Ajax, Busquets and Rakitic had to retreat frequently, which caused the passing distance from midfield to frontcourt to be longer, so Valverde once wanted to let Kuti Nio retreated, but the Brazilian player's speed was slow and he could not play an advantage on the wing. Instead, Ajax hit the snake with the stick and directly pressed to grab.

In the end, Messi had to retreat, but in this way, Messi after the retreat will encounter more defensive pressure, farther from the goal, the offensive threat is less.

More importantly, Messi is the core of Barcelona's offensive on the court. Whether he is at the front or retreat, he is an undoubted core player. After he retreated too far, the ball advances to become the biggest. problem.

Now Barcelona, ​​no one can cooperate with Messi, even Cristiano Ronaldo is not good.

When Harvey, Iniesta and Neymar were in the past, they cooperated with Messi's continuous transmission in a narrow range. It can be said that Barcelona is an excellent weapon to tear off the defensive space, but it is now gone.

Neither Coutinho nor Dembele can do this.

Valverde thought of this and turned to Messi.

The Argentine was very expensive in the first half, and the whole person was breathless.

Not only him, but also other Barcelona players.

If tactical pertinence is Yang Yang's strategy, then fighting for consumption is his Yangmou.

Barcelona's players in their thirties are really a bit more, not only Busquets, Rakitic and Vidal, but also Messi, Pique and Alba. Of the eleven players in the lineup, six have more than three At ten years old, aging is already very serious.

Of the remaining players, Coutinho and Dembele have not been able to integrate into the team. Roberto is quite right on the right. Who can Barcelona rely on?

If you let the pace of the game continue to be dragged down by Ajax, Barcelona's physical fitness will soon be destroyed.

Valverde thought of this and was very helpless, but he had to make a decision.

...

"In the second half, we can no longer let the rhythm run out of control. We must use the advantage of kickoff from the beginning to control the right of the ball and try our best to control the rhythm."

"Ajax is not good at forcing? Then let them press out and grab. We take full advantage of the midfield and backcourt, use the pass and cut cooperation, and consume their physical strength. I do n’t believe they can persist for 90 minutes as long as they Physical energy is almost consumed, that is our opportunity! "

Valverde glanced at Coutinho when he said this, and then to Vidal, hesitating.

It stands to reason that if you want to control the ball, then you must adjust the midfield.

Yang Yang ’s strategy in the first half was to allow Vidal to take the ball and pass it, but try to compress Busquets and Rakitic ’s handling of the ball, especially Busquets, so Barcelona wants to control the ball. It is Upper Artur.

But in this way, there is a problem. If Ajax attacked again in the second half, won Vidal and went to Artur, can Barcelona's midfielder be able to bear it?

If you want to find the highlight in the first half behind, Messi is undoubtedly one point, then Vidal is another point.

The attacking and defensive Chilean midfielder helped Barcelona to bear the pressure of Ajax through their own running and covering, and the midfielder's pressure. If there is no Vidal, Barcelona's first half will be more obvious.

Therefore, Valverde must also consider carefully, won Bidal, can the midfielder bear it?

Another way is to replace Coutinho, replace Semedo to play the right back, and put Roberto in the midfield, but this brings another problem. Is Barcelona's entire left road just right? To be scrapped?

Sometimes, the replacement of the head coach is often a process of choice.

Valverde hesitated for a while, and finally gave up the idea of ​​substitutions at halftime.

Whether it is Vidal or Coutinho, changing the midfield will bring too many variables.

But he also made a decision in his mind, and after about 60 minutes, after stabilizing the situation in the second half, he began to make substitutions.

In the last thirty minutes, he asked the team to equalize the score or even reverse the opponent!

…………

…………

"Change sides and fight again in the second half."

"We can see that neither team has made substitution adjustments."

"Barcelona still played in the lineup of the first half, and Ajax also did not change his mind."

"Yang Yang has every reason to be satisfied with the current game situation, because his team is leading 2-0, which completely subverts everyone's predictions about this game before, because this is facing Barcelona at Camp Nou. "

"Regardless of the final result of the game, I believe that after this game tonight, Yang Yang and his Ajax will once again marvel the world because he kicked out a great and classic first half."

...

"Okay, kick back."

"Neither team's strategy has changed much."

"Barcelona wants to control the ball more, but Ajax still takes the high position to force the oppression."

"Obviously, Yang Yang still hopes to use the opening of the second half to rush and disrupt Barcelona's position."

"This type of play worked very well in the first half, but can it be effective in the second half?"

"Barcelona is obviously well prepared, and after the first half, the physical energy consumption of Ajax players is also very large, it is basically impossible to appear like the first half of the crazy scene of oppression."

"This is a test for both teams."

"The Ajax midfielder succeeded in steals, and there was a chance that Van der Baker was straight behind."

"Yang Yang inserted into the restricted area, and Pique clasped him tightly. No one answered ..."

"Reluctantly, Yang Yang's shot was hugged by Ter Stegen."

"Barça's defense was very successful this time, without giving Yang Yang any shooting angle."

"Sancho, who keeps up on the right, is still hesitant. If he is more determined, Yang Yang can pass the ball."

...

"In the opening kick for five minutes, Barcelona had a slight advantage in ball control, but Ajax's pressure was also very fierce."

"It was another steal, Ashraf steals, handed over to Ndongbele and passed to the frontcourt for Sancho."

"Sancho took the ball on his back, turned inwards, dribbling the ball horizontally and passed diagonally to the left."

"Nerez fast forwards, fast, and catches the ball before Roberto ..."

"Pike threw away Yang Yang and moved to block Neres."

"Brazil's left winger crossed to the top of the arc in the penalty area, Yang Yang took the ball."

"There are five Barcelona defensive players around Yang Yang. The defense is very fast and timely."

"Not only the back line, Rakitic, Busquets and Vidal are back."

"Neres is offside and cannot pass."

"Look at what Yang Yang does."

"A fake move to the right, suddenly buckled back, to the left, got rid of Langley, and passed directly behind Pique."

"Vanderbeck followed, directly kicked the door !!!"

"Goal in !!!!!!"

"Goallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll !!!!!!"

"In the fiftieth minute, just five minutes from the start of the second half, Ajax went to the next city."

"Yang Yang took the ball on the back of the top of the arc in the front of the penalty area. After getting rid of Langley, he turned and passed the ball. Van der Beck followed up and pushed directly through the goal of Barcelona!"

"Three to zero!"

"I can't believe my eyes. Have you seen it? I can't believe everything I see!"

"Barca's defensive attention was completely attracted to Yang Yang. Five players surrounded him, but Yang Yang still created a chance to pass to the gap behind him."

"We can blame Busquets for not being placed in the first place, we can complain that Pique didn't make up for the first time to block, or we can complain that Langley was too easy to get rid of Yang Yang, and even complain why these five players didn't foul ... … "

"But now, Barcelona are trailing zero to three!"

"I can't believe that this scene happened at Camp Nou!"

"Ajax's three goals came from Yang Yang, two shots, and an assist. He completely directed Ajax's attack and also paid a painful price for Barcelona's back line."

...

After scoring, Yang Yang ran to Van der Beck for the first time to celebrate this key goal for him.

The third ball can be said to have completely defeated Barcelona's energy.

If Barcelona still try to regroup in the second half, then now, they have undoubtedly lost their opportunities.

Yang Yang was very excited and hugged Van der Beck hard, and was also hugged tightly by other Ajax players who flew over.

They tried their best, just for this moment!

Next, Valverde should consider substitutions.

He had no choice!

No matter what his original plan was, he had no time to hesitate anymore when he was three goals behind.

Yang Yang speculates that he will either replace Vidal or Coutinho, or both.

But no matter how to change, Yang Yang's plan.

At least, Valverde's substitutions are nothing new!
